Why Royal Sovereign would become the training ship

In a six-ship Revenge-class counterfactual, Royal Sovereign is the likely training ship because navies normally assign the oldest hull to that duty.

Question

With six Revenge-class battleships, which one would probably become the training ship?

Short answer

Royal Sovereign, because the oldest ship was the normal candidate for reassignment to training duty.

Notes

Royal Sovereign is the probable choice for training duty in a six-ship Revenge-class fleet. The oldest ship was normally assigned that role, so service age provides the basis for the choice.
